Winemaker's Notes:

Hamilton Russell was the first wine estate planted in Walker Bay, founded by Tim Hamilton Russell in 1975 and since that time has carved out a reputation for producing wines that straddle the old and new worlds. Southern Right was founded by Anthony Hamilton Russell of Hamilton Russell Vineyards in 1994. Southern Right's aim is to produce a serious, age-worthy Pinotage combining a distinct South African fruit and flavour expression with classic styling and refinement. As an early ripening grape, Anthony Hamilton Russell is convinced that Pinotage performs best in cooler areas where a longer, slower ripening season affords fully developed tannins and greater fruit complexity. This is an excellent example of Pinotage with good structure and developed tannins where the soft wood flavours are complemented by berry fruits on the palate.
